Would probably be good to officially know if the mods will allow the thread to exist, yes? Because I had the impression that was still in question.

If it is allowed, he will probably pm one person and tell him to open it, and not declare it here, to avoid having 10 different threads opened by different people.

it'd make more sense to publically announce which individual would be allowed to undertake this ordeal, I think.

Summary:

-There is some general interest from the community in having a fanfiction archive/library/compilation thread.

-If this is going to happen, the following requirements must be met to avoid unpleasant messes that would probably end in nuked threads and pointless drama all around:
  • One single thread made and maintained by one single user, no shared-account bullshit.
    Extremely low bar on quality, and most definitely no excluding any works brought to the user's attention, as long as they can be reasonably described as "KS fanfiction".
    Self-reliance with no support required from the forum administration.
-No holding unrealistically high expectations about this, since there still is a fairly high probability that it will become an unpleasant mess which will probably end in nuked threads and pointless drama all around.

Now if some people will step up and state or restate their intent to volunteer by posting after this summary, we can see about setting up a trial period at least. Everyone else should kindly shut up and wait.

Well, I'd like to make a Hanako thread with preferably all the Hanako routes on it. I'll volunteer for that, but a great archive of every KS fanfic is out of my patience range, I'd stick to just the one character in particular.

Silentcook said that only one thread would exist, and it will include all fics, you can't go and create an all hanako thread.
Also it seems that the mission to create the thread would fall on either me or mirage_gsm, seeing as we are the only ones who bothered to volunteer, and also we were the most active on this debate.

Sea, Loeloe95, you are included in "everyone else". Shail already won a tempban outside of this thread.
